Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, and hypertensive heart disease are the most com-mon causes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The patient is experiencing sinus tachycardia. Most often, sinus tachycardia is caused by anxiety, pain, fever, hypovolemia, or hypoxemia. It may also be a side effect of certain medications such as beta agonist bronchodilators. Treatment for sinus tachycardia typically involves eliminating the underlying cause.
